Ahh. Thank you. I was making the assumption that it was creating RamDisks
by the statement on that line. I guess if I'd actually done the math, and
checkd my free memory responses I'd have realized that it's not possible
for the system to make 16 ramdisks at 4MB each on a 64MB system and still
leave anything free for me to use for the system. That's what happens when
you hit the panic button to fast :)
